The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says motorcyclists are eight times more likely to be injured and 32 times more likely to die in a crash than other motor vehicle accident victims.
Most cyclists are safe drivers, but sometimes automobile drivers are careless around motorcyles and scooters. Motorcycle accident victims have high medical bills and sometimes limited insurance coverage. Sometimes insurance companies will contact a victim through an adjuster who attempts to limit the amount of money a victim may be entitled to.
Motorcycle riders enjoy freedoms that come with riding two-wheelers, but they are also left exposed to dangers that automobile and truck drivers are not. The lack of any protective barriers between motorcycle and road, as well as the difficulty that other motorists may have in seeing and anticipating a motorcycle, expose riders to a significant amount of personal injury.
In most motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles, the driver of the other vehicle is at fault. If you, a family member, or friend are involved in a motorcycle accident, be sure to contact a qualified personal injury lawyer at Ted Machi & Associates, P.C.
